I’ve always wanted to build a group hug deck. A buddy of mine and his son who live in the same apartment complex wanted to do a $100 deck challenge, so I came up with this brew.
What is a group hug deck - “Group Hug is a Commander deck archetype known for providing resources to opposing players, sometimes in exchange for political favors, for the purpose of using those resources or favors to eventually win the game.” - EDH Rec
Lenny told me it was a control deck in disguise.
The commander - Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis
These dudes seem cool because I like drawing an extra card and laying an extra land. It’s not extra threatening because it’s at the end of my turn and I feel like ppl are disincentivized to kill it because they’re getting an extra land drop or card draw
